Instamine is an unfair distribution of coins at the very earliest stage of a project's launch, when a large share of the issuance ends up with a narrow circle of participants. This undermines trust in the currency.

Delegated Proof of Stake is a consensus algorithm in which coin holders vote to choose a limited number of trusted nodes that create blocks on behalf of the entire network.

A road map is a public development plan of a crypto project that describes, stage by stage, the goals, key milestones, and approximate timelines for achieving them. It helps to assess a project's direction and maturity.

Proof of Service is a mechanism in which nodes perform useful functions for the network and receive a reward for this, provided they hold a fixed collateral of coins.

Proof-of-Storage is a mechanism in which participants provide disk space for shared data, and the network confirms that the files are indeed reliably stored.
